Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have been practicing for 11 years. I help young adults and adults in their healing journeys by identifying and addressing the root thoughts and triggers contributing to their negative thought and behavioral patterns.

Having worked with young people for 10 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause(s) of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I help them develop the skills to heal from them and be their best version.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Ideal clients

I love working with adults who are motivated and eager to address their identified problem areas in order to live well. Clients who are open and receptive to learning the tools to make their goals a reality. Clients who often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their present and future. I am here and ready to walk alongside them in their healing journey.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

The quality of one's thoughts highly impact the quality of one's life. Therefore, CBT is a tool I use to help clts identify detrimental thoughts that are influencing emotions and thereby behaviors; behaviors that are negatively impacting one's life. Once that awareness is in motion, the healing begins.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Self awareness and clear goals are so helpful in moving forward in a healthy way. With 6-9 sessions, a clt is able to accomplish goals set out for themselves.
